> In the (probably unlikely) event that a clan did want to appoint a Yinkin cultist as their chief, is there any reason why the Yinkin cultist wouldn't go through the same process as that referred to below in the case of the Odaylan who became chief? (Apart from substituting 'Cat' rune for 'Bear' rune)
Exactly the same. The only problem would be he could no longer be fully devoted to Yinkin. A chief has to deal with plenty of problems other than trying to emulate Yinkin 24/7.
